We are seeking to appoint a talented, dynamic and nurturing individual with a depth of knowledge of behaviour management, for a Learning Mentor position in our school. It is essential for a Learning Mentor to have had experience in dealing with challenging and oppositional behaviour whether this be in an educational, residential or youth setting. This is a great opportunity for somebody that is looking for that next progression in their career!

Working in collaboration with the Pastoral Team, you will maintain an overview of individual children’s needs and circumstances, including how to remove barriers to learning so that they can achieve their full potential (both on a personal and academic level). You will be responsible for supporting children with social, emotional and mental health needs, overseeing childrens’ Individual Behaviour Plans and maintaining regular contact with parents.

We are looking for somebody who has a positive, firm but fair approach and somebody who values every child as an individual. Personal warmth and an ability to empathise are essential for this role. The successful candidate must have excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to communicate highly effectively with young children, their parents and other professionals, achieving maximum engagement by all.

At Queen Mary Avenue Infant and Nursery School we pride ourselves on our inclusive and nurturing ethos. We aim to provide a calm and happy atmosphere and set high standards of respect, courtesy, hard work and achievement for all children and adults.

If you would like to join our friendly, caring and professional team at Queen Mary Avenue Infant and Nursery School or you would like to know more about the job, please contact our Headteacher Mrs Lakin. Visits to the school are encouraged.
